Back alignment in gun?

it all depends on your protection.

if you are a slide protection scheme he has to lineup away from the slide.

if you are a man protection team he needs to be able to pickup the 4 weak or you have to be willing to throw hot.

for example, when in trips open we always have the back to the weak(single rec. side0
we do this for a few reasons.
1. we man protect so we can account for the 4 weak blitz.
2. typically our qb are right handed and feel better throwing hot to there strong side.
3. we can get 3 rec to one side and 2 rec(back and single rec) to the other side so we are in a potential 5 release at all times.
4. we also see that the 3 tech on even defenses linesup to the strong(trips or field) side so we can run the quick trap.

now if we are in slide protection we can account for the 4 weak and then have the back to the strong side with allows us to combat the 4 strong blitz.


it really all depends on protection. me I am a protection first guy.
